Skepticism and methodological criticism are definitionally "science". Not cult like faith. Ad hominems and appeals to authority are not valid arguments.

  Paying more attention to information in a peer-reviewed journal than information in a pseudonymous substack is not "cult-like faith." Of course the study could be wrong.

    The study is not and has not passed peer review.

      Hasn't it? Looks published to me. It has a doi and everything. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abi9069 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abi9069

        My mistake, the link in the article you first posted still shows it as a working paper and I couldn't find it with the original title when searching. Interestingly the DOI does not show up https://dx.doi.org/ https://dx.doi.org/ Here's some further criticisms: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-1073440/latest.pdf https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-1073440/latest.pdf https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.01296 https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.01296 https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-021-12082-z https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s...
